The New Model Building (NMB) serves as a comprehensive framework of design principles and guidance shaped specifically for the construction of multistorey residential mass timber buildings in the United Kingdom, in full compliance with UK building regulations and local policies such as the Greater London Authorities Affordable Homes Programme Funding Guidance. A suite of open-source easy-to-use documents produced by Waugh Thistleton explain the design principles and details of the New Model Building

This overview Guide describes why we need the New Model Building and what it includes.

It should be used in conjunction with the NMB Details & Evidence books.
